Police said that one rocket hit inside an Israeli community, and the other struck an open field nearby, causing neither damage nor injury.
The rocket fire came two days after an attack in which a missile was fired at Israel, but fell short and struck a house belonging to an Egyptian family in the northern Gazoo city of Beit Hanoun, according to the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, which acts as Israel’s military liaison to the Paleostinians.
